The Supreme Court is seen on a foggy day along the Ottawa River in Ottawa, Thursay, April 16, 2026. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Adrian Wyld The Canadian Press MONTREAL — The Supreme Court of Canada has rejected an appeal by the Quebec government that sought to block a redrawing of the provincial electoral map. The 7-2 decision delivered from the bench means that a riding on the Gaspé Peninsula and another in Montreal’s east end will be eliminated in favour of two new districts in the growing Laurentians/Lanaudière and Centre-du-Québec regions. Premier François Legault’s government tabled a law in 2024 to block the redrawing crafted by the independent electoral boundaries commission, after members of all parties expressed concerns that the new map would take away political weight from Gaspé and make ridings in eastern Quebec overly large.
